The leading goalscorers in the EPL are (1) Luis Suarez - 22 goals, (2) Robbie van Persie - 19, (3) Gareth Bale - 17, (4) Michu - 17, (5) Rickie Lambert - 14. Rickie who? Yes, Rickie Lambert from Southampton. He is English, works his socks off in every match, creates and scores goals. He is playing in a weaker team and yet scored 14 thus far. His last goal was a gem against Chelsea leaving Petr Cech in his wake and helped the Saints to victory but the question that is left begging is why no England call up? He is better than the others and the best current English scorer. Reading v Southampton - Reading's (20th) goal scoring has dried up and have lost 7 times on the trot while Southampton's (12th) stocks are looking up. Reading sacked Brian McDermott whom I thought is a good manager and replaced him with ex Southampton manager Nigel Adkins whom himself was sacked from the Saints and he too is a good manager. Should Southampton's current position and form be a credi...

Recently, the weather is so hot and humid that you can come out after a cold shower perspiring. You don't even need cotton buds to dry your ears as water in and around the ears would evaporate coming out from your ears as steam. Everybody loves a winner and now that Tiger Woods is prowling again I mean on the golf course, all is forgotten. Lance Armstrong was once such a hero when he won 7 Tour de France titles. Now everyone has slammed him for drugs. I mean if you and I were on drugs, okay no just beers,   I think we can't even find our bicycles. While the world grapples with economic and financial crises, Singapore are selling houses and cars like hot cakes as if they are free. The only other problem has been with sex. Reading the papers each day made me coin a phrase that Confucius might be proud of: "Man with tool in woman's mouth not necessary dentist". It is no wonder that people are not getting married. The guys are going "why buy a cow when y...

Continued from Part 1..... http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2013/03/punggol-end-part-1.html Well, we were here on something that looked like Baby's Breath. All babies' breath smells good until they burped after milk. As people grew  up, their mouth stinks for food and other abuses of the orifice or the words they use frequently and of course babies have purity and innocence. I came across a fallen tree. I feel its branches and roots looking at me. Was it struck by lightning or has weak roots? It is a huge tree but its roots are not deeply rooted. Your values, principles and relationships are like tree roots. They can be easily uprooted at the slightest provocation when the roots are shallow. We caught a good sign! It isn't that building right behind but a little farther down. This is the Cowboy Mart shown on the previous sign. An uncle runs the place. I spoke to  him and he is doing fairly well selling drinks, biscuits, etc. He had a little...

TGIF!! Thank God It's Friday! This week is special. We will say Thank God It's Good Friday! Why do people say TGIF!? Simple. Because after Friday, it's the weekends - Saturday and Sunday where you do not go to work. Why shouldn't you thank God for that? He created  everything and then on the seventh day he stopped. He worked for six days then he rested. That's why we too followed suit. It has to be but I know what you are thinking - " Why didn't God worked just four days then rested for three?"  Before humans discovered that the earth is round (they thought it was flat) any one who said it was round was being blasphemous. You could have been prosecuted but He has already proclaimed in His words:  Isaiah 40:22 - He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. Life Is Short And Full Of Trouble Job 14: 1 “Mortals, born o...

When I was a child to my teen years, Punggol is a place that seems so far away. When we were smaller everything seems so much bigger and further way.  This was true because back then we do not have highways. You have to go by every small road to get somewhere and the bus journeys lasted forever. Since you have no choice, people learned patience. Not my way or the highway. I went to Punggol only for two reasons - to have seafood on special and rare occasions with family or for fishing with friends. Though I have been back there again this time it was a nostalgia trip. One of the best aspects of travelling to Punggol was the journey itself whether by car or bus. From the end of Hougang and the beginning of Seng Kang, that is where Punggol Road is, the road has trees lining up on both sides. The foliage got denser from where the current Punggol New Town is all the way right up the Punggol End. You can only see sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees. Along the way, ther...
